Microplastics

Microplastics (2021-)

This series is a work/walk-in-progress. It is part of a contemplative process of slowing down, (re)tracing steps, looking back and looking below, considering heritage (personal and common), masculinity, femininity, consumption, engaging in an intergenerational dialogue and sometimes just shutting up. It is an attempt to pay attention to the heaviness and meaning of each step and the material consequences of our being here, locally, physically, environmentally. All of the materials I’ve used for creating these works have been lost, and found, used by the people around me, some of whom I might be close to, some of whom are no longer here, and some of whom I’ve never met.

The alignments/sentences try to reflect a semiology of the time and place, without strict considerations for grammar and semantics, but with a sense of curiosity for reading (into) and future archaeologies.
